Football Mangers and their Favourite Books

Greenoak · March 8, 2006

Just to get off talking about Chelsea,

The National Football Museum in Preston invited some of the game's stars to nominate their favourite books.

The full list is:

Martin Jol (Spurs) Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway

Paul Simpson (Carlisle United) Billy - Pamela Stephenson

Hope Powell (England) I Know Why the Caged Birds Sing - Maya Angelou

Steve Cotterill (Burnley) Beyond Winning (Human Kenetics) - Gary M Walton

David O'Leary (Aston Villa) Kane and Abel - Jeffery Archer

Graham Souness Fourth Protocol - Frederick Forsyth

Steve Bruce (Birmingham City) Frank Sinatra 'Biography' - Martin Smith

Sam Allardyce (Bolton Wanderers) The Soul of a Butterfly - Mohammed Ali

Jose Mourinho (Chelsea) The Bible

Billy Davies (Preston) Sacred Hoops - Phil Jackson

David Moyes (Everton) Animal Farm - George Orwell

Alan Curbishley (Charlton) Bobalong the Brownie Man - Agnes Grozier Herbertson

Mick McCarthy Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown

Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United) Treasure island - Robert Louis Stevenson

Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) Harry Potter Series - JK Rowling

Paul Jewell (Wigan) Bravo Two Zero - Andy McNab

My only comment is I am surprised Wayne Rooney can read, and Kane and Abel - Jeffery Archer. WTF
